Granted: 2007-12-11
Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that improve automatic speech recognition in a spoken dialog system. The method comprises partitioning speech recognizer output into self contained clauses, identifying a dialog act in each of the self contained clauses, qualifying dialog acts by identifying a current domain object and/or a current domain action, and determining whether further qualification is possible for the current domain object and/or current domain action. If further qualification is possible, then the method comprises identifying another domain action and/or another domain object associated with the current domain object and/or current domain action, reassigning the another domain action and/or another domain object as the current domain action and/or current domain object and then recursively qualifying the new current domain action and/or current object. This process continues until nothing is left to qualify.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une méthode permettant de distribuer ou d'administrer des médicaments qui demande de guider l'utilisateur pour qu'il choisisse une raison, à savoir si l'utilisateur souhaite distribuer ou a l'intention d'administrer un médicament ne correspondant pas au profil pharmaceutique du patient. Par exemple, un patient peut connaître un inconfort grave ou d'autres conditions peuvent prévaloir et exiger la distribution et l'administration d'un médicament non approuvé par un pharmacien pour le patient. La méthode invite l'utilisateur à donner une raison (exception) pour la distribution ou l'administration, qui peut être utilisée pour créer un journal. La méthode peut comprendre l'identification d'un patient, l'accès à un profil pharmaceutique pour le patient identifié, la sélection d'un médicament pour le patient identifié (le médicament sélectionné n'ayant pas été examiné du point de vue du profil pharmaceutique du patient), le fait d'inviter l'utilisateur à indiquer une exception et l'examen de l'exception pour déterminer son caractère acceptable. Si l'exception est acceptable, l'accès aux compartiments de stockage d'un appareil de distribution, afin de distribuer le médicament, peut être accordé et une fiche est créée pour l'événement. Autrement, le fournisseur de soins de santé peut administrer le médicament et une fiche d'administration est alors créée. Si l'exception n'est pas acceptable, une fiche est créée pour la demande de distribution ou la demande d'administration. De plus, la méthode peut comprendre le transfert des demandes de dérogation et des événements de dérogation vers une base de données contenant les commandes en pharmacie. Les demandes, événements et commandes peuvent être triés selon un critère prédéterminé et présenté à un pharmacien pour examen.

Abstract: A system and method used to assess animal behavior includes a module having sensors that collects a variety of physical and biological data from a test subject. Interpretation of the data is provided to assess the test subject's behavior, neurology, biochemistry and physiology. The module is useful in observing the effects of a drug on the test animal and providing information on the drug's signature. Another advantage is module's portability that allows it to be used in standard laboratory cages. This portability allows the animal to be tested in its own habitat, that can reduce any erroneous data due to stressing the animal when removed to a test cage. Additionally, the module's design allows for parallel data collection and interpretation from several laboratory animals undergoing different experiments. Multi-dimensional modeling of the test subject based on the system's interpretation of the data allows pattern recognition of the drug signature, and predictive drug analysis.

Granted: 2009-05-19
Abstract: An operator suitable for opening and closing casement windows includes a housing (e.g., a base and a cover), and an operator arm subassembly driven by a worm. The operator arm subassembly may include at least one operator arm pivotally disposed in the housing via a flanged bearing. The operator arm may define a gear. If a plurality of operator arms are present, a sun gear may be used. The flanged bearing properly aligns the components to reduce stresses encountered during use. The flanged bearing may have a base portion, a middle portion, and an upper portion in a stepped configuration. The base may engage the base of the housing. The upper portion of the bearing may engage a cover of the housing. A middle portion of the bearing pivotally joins the arm and/or sun gear. The instant flanged bearing provides a smoother, more efficient operation and increases the useful life of the operator.

Title: High aspect stereoscopic mode camera and method
Inventor: BENNETT RUSSELL A
IPC: H04N13/02
Filed: 2002-09-10
Granted: 2007-03-20
Abstract: An aerial reconnaissance camera and method provides for generating a first image of the terrain of interest with the camera pointing angle oriented or rotated about an azimuthal axis some angular amount (.theta.1) to a first, typically forward orientation, i.e., forward of a cross-line of flight direction. An image is obtained of the ground at this orientation. Then the camera is rotated about the azimuthal axis to new angular value (.theta.2), which will typically be aft of the cross line of flight direction. An image is generated at this value. The camera is then rotated back to the value of .theta.1, and a second image in the forward orientation is generated. The camera is then rotated again to the value of .theta.2 and another image in the aft orientation is generated. This process of rotating the camera about the azimuthal axis and generating images in forward and aft orientations continues over and over. Eventually, as the aircraft flies past the terrain of interest, any given location in the terrain of interest will have been imaged from two different perspectives - forward and aft. The motion of the aircraft during the interim in combination with the values of .theta.1 and .theta.2 provide the high baseline for the stereo image pairs.
